In the spring of last year my disorder had got ro such a head, as nearly to put a period to my existence—l had been in a state of ulceration for the last seven years ; my skin, in different part's, was very much di s coloured, and I suffered such excruciating pain, particu• larly when wane, in bed, as nearly to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, 1 was recommended by Mr. J. Thonip. son, (who received so great a cure by them here ), to take your Leake's Patent Pills, which I begar; to do on the 26th of May ; in the course of a fortnight I began to receive benefit—in little more than a month the ulcerations disappeared, leaving, however, considerable discolouration in the skin, and pain in the bone of the left, leg, which, by the blessing of God, anti a little longer perseverance in your valuable Medicine, sub. sided; the skin regaining its natural hue, and the nocturnal pains gradually going off. —I thus became,, by your liberal :advice and medicine, perfectly free from all my thrmer cont. plaints---have recovered my former spirits and str engt h, an d ant become jolly and fat , in which state having continued many months, to the astonishment of all who knew me, I ant at a loss in what terms to express my gratitude, but beg you, for the good of other suffering mortals, to make this my case as public as possible, as I shall on every occasion ; in so doing you will greatly oblige, Sit, your grateful, obedient, very humble servant, ALEX.

My dear Sir,—The Chief Justicci.has :informed me, that he has requested you 'to appropriate the room, over the room of ,tho Judges, and the room with the Venetian window and two fire places, to the Bar ; and he wished that the Attorney-General, on the part of the Bar, would direct how they should be used. I apt desired by the Attorney-General to ay, that tile room over the . Judges' room may be applied to the purposes of a robing-room for. the Bar, and the other for the counsel to. sit in. The undersigned Secretary dl State, directing the IMperial ad ministration of - Foreign Affairs, hastened to subinit to the Emperor the note with which Mr. Middleton, Egyoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of, the United States of America, . did him the honour to address hint, on the 2d of July last, accompany ing a copy of the dispatch from Mr. Clay, in which that Minister, in the name of the Cabinet at. Washington, Urges the necessity of .confirming the general peace, by terminating the contest of the Spanish Colonies against the Government of his Catholic Ma jesty.; of seen/it:lg ta Spain the peaceful possession of the islands of Cuba and Porto Rito ; and of effecting these objects by the impartial intervention of Russia. The principles of the Emperor were sufficiently known to the Government of the United States to justify the perfect confidence. that, in expressing a wish for the continuance and confirmation of the peace enjoyed by the world; it slid but represent the most sin cere desire of his Imperial Majesty, that in profeseinge generous: solicitude for the rights of Spain over her Nandi in the West In dies, it avowed principhs that had long since been adopted by . , Minix, as the basis of her political system ; and that, in antici pating perfect impartiality and true disinteeeetedziese from her in tervention, it was not deceived us to the sentiments of the Em-' peror, in relation to all arrangements in which Foreign Pinvers might be pleased to claim or admit his good offices. His Imperial Majesty felicitates himself with having inspired this confidence in the. United States of America, ea the Under signed is charged to invite Mr. Middleton to convey to his Go vernment the assurance of the high value at which the Emperor estimates those sentiments, of which new evidence is furnished by its present propositions. The opinions of his Imperial Majoity 46 to the question dis cussed by Mr. Clay, in his dispatch, cannot be concealed from the Cabinet of Washington. Ills Imperial Majesty has ever thought that justice, the law of nations, and the general interest in having the indisputable titles of sovereignty respected, could not allow the determinations of the Mother Country, in this important case, to be prejudged, or anticipated. On the other side, Whenever Spain has wished to discuss the future condition of South Ame rica, she has addressed overtures to all the Allied Powers of Eu rope. It will not be possible, theretbre, for his Imperial Ma= jesty to change principles in this nvgociation, nor to institute it separately (isoknient) i and until positive information has been received of the ulterior views of Spain, in regard to her Ameri can possessions, of her decision upon the proposition of the United States, and of the opinions of her Allies in relation to the same: subject, Russia cannot give a definite answer. She is, however, in the meanwhile, pleased to hope, that the United States, becoming every day more convine i of the evils and dangers that would result to Cuba and. Porto ed tico front a change of Government, being satisfied, as Mr. Clay has said in Ids dispatch, with the present commercial legislation of these two islands and deriving an additional motive of security front the. honourable resolution of Spain, not to grant to them any longer. letters of marque, will use their influence in defeating, as far as may be in their power, every enterprise against these islands, in securing to the rights of his Catholic Majesty constant and proper respect, in maintaining the only state of things that can preserve a just balance of power in the tea of the Antilles, prevent shock ing examples, and, as the Cabinet of Washington has remarked, secure to the general peace salutary guarantees. The Undersigned seizes with pleasure this occasion to repeat to Mr. Middleton the assurances of his very distinguished cone deration. St. Petersleugh, Aug. 20, 1825.

My dear Sir,—l am favoured with your letter of the 24th inst. on the subject of the roonis in the New Law Courts appropriated to the use of the gentlemen of the bar, in which you say, " The Chief Justiee informs me that he hal n.quested you to appropriate the room over the room of the Judges and the Venetian window and two tire-places to the Bar, and he Wished that the Attorney- General, ou the part of the Bar, would direct how they should be used..

With reference to thig part of your letter, you will have the, goodness to inform the Attorney-General, that I ant appreheu-; sive it will not be practicable to appropriate another room for the use of the gentlemen of the bar as required ; the room suggestk as eligible for a consultation room, has ulreatly, been appropriated by the Lord Chief Justice. regret Inuit sincerely, that the New . tow Courts have been deprived of any material accommodations provided by the plan as originally executed. Several of the rooms hive been mutilated, others totally deprived of light, anti fifteen rooms of various di mensions in the different stories, have been sacrificed to the dis- pixy of classical and tasteful improvements, over which I have kad ' no controul. Thew rooms, which stood on the site formerly occupied by the building er rated in the time of Queen Elizabeth, contained amongst other accommodations, a private entrance for the JudOi from New Palace-yard, and another for the barristers—robin-- room for the barristers-. 4 law librttry, with a tlireet comotunt cation with the roams that contain the Records of the Court cif King's bench--a retiring room for jurors, together with rooms for solicitors and their clients—cofftx-room, and other requisite conveniences• To render the Lain Courts suitable to the dignity or their des tination, and convenient for the purposes or those charged with the important duties of condUcting the law proceedings, there appears to be uo better method than to restore the rooms de signed iu the original plans made agreeably to the suggestions of the principal officers of the several courts, and sanctioned by the Judges, and by the Lords Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury.

By the ship Farquharson, which arrived yesterday from China, accounts were received of the total de struction by fire of the Honourable East India Com pany's ship Royal George, at Whampoa, on the morn ing of the 24th of December last. The fire commenced in the gun-room, and the alarm was first given about four a. m.; but from the extreme rapidity with which the confla gration extended, there is every probability that the ship must have been burning for some time previously to the bursting forth of the flames. Every exertion was made to smother the fire, but the flames soon communicated with the spirit-room, which burin with the most irresistible violence, and in less than an hour after the first alarm, all prospect of saving the ship became hopeless. The greatest coolness and intrepi dity were manifested by the officers and crew, and we are happy to learn that no life was lost on the occa sion. Court nf Kings Bench, Feb. 4. My dear Sir,--I am requested by some gentle:nen of the bar hi submit to your consideration two alterations, by which they con ceive the light may be improved, One is, to whiten the walls by which the lantern is in part surrounded. The other is, to take the ald of reflectors. If this centre south window were fitted up Ulth mirrors, would throw some light upon the centre of the calm where the light is so deficient. It might be ascertained by that experiment whether it would be desirable to place mirrors in any of the other windows. You best know whether these alteration* would be improve tueuts.—l em, my dear Sir, very faithfully yours, (Signed) JOHN GURNEY: _ _ To John Sonne, Esq. Litwolnia.inn-fieldt, Feb. 7: My dear Sir,--I ant favoured with your letter, stating that the gentlemen of the bar wish me to consider of some alterations by which they conceive the light in the new Court of King's tench may be improved. I am not surprised that the gentlemen of the ber, as well as the Judges, and the public in general, complain of the want of light in that Court, the quantity of which is now so totally unlike what it would have been, had the Original construction been com pleted.. Unfortunately the taste for innovation, which demolished as un necessary the accommeations now found to be so essentially re quisite (some of which were noticed in my letter of the 26th ult.), caused the great lantern light over the centre of the Court to be considerably lowered, it being appreheoded that it would be seen from Weetmineter-bridge, and the Court was thereby deprived of a large portion . of its light. The same spirit directed that uo light should be admitted into the Court from New Pa lace-yard. The following is a copy of a letter from Captait Timmins, of the late ship Royal George, to the com mittee at Lloyd's, dated Canton, Jan I. 1826 ‘, Sir—ln extreme ill health, and under the pressure of great misfortune, I exert myself to perform a duty I feel due to the Committee or Lloyd's, and to condole with them upon the total destruction by tire, on the morning of the 24th ultimo, of The late. Honourable Company's ship Royal George, then lying at Whampos, in readiness to proceed to the second bar, with the whole of herstores on board, and perfectly equipped for sea, where she ;night receive the remains of her cargo, having at this period 8,000 chests of Company's teas on board, and some private trade. Shortly after the relief of the watch, at half-past 44 in the morning, the officer of the deck smelt fire ; an alarm was ►nstantly g►ven, and on lifting the tarpaulin from the gun-room scuttle-grating, the flames appeared in a heavy volume, which it was not in the power of human exertion to repel. A hardy band was sent to the magazine to throw overboard the powder. Assist ance was quickly received from the Company's ships as well as others: the chain bridles were wisely slipped, and the Ship taken into tow clear of others. As she drifted down with the tide, the flames now reached every mast-head in half an hour the spirit-room burst, and the liquor running over the orlop, the tire covered that deck like lightning ; all hopes were at an end ; the men were antumoned to the boats, but the brave officers and men below did not quit their post at the magazine until the flames were near the door of it. At half-past fives the whole of the crew, as well as strangers, went orderly into the boats; shortly after the ship grounded, the powder exploded, stove out her bows; the hull parted abreast the foremast ; she was destroyed to the water's edge, and there lay the distressing remains of one of the finest merchant ships in the whole world. The conduct of all the officers and crew in this trying time Was orderly in the extreme. The most undeniable proofs exist, that every thing possible was done to save the ship, and the committee will learn and feel with myself,, an honest pride in the information, that this awful visitation of Pro vidence has afforded the most authentic examples of the steady and brave manner in which the officers and crew, as well as strangers, did their duty in this awful situation, And prove, beyond denial, there still remains in the breast of a British seaman an heroic self devotion in time of peril, to defend and save his ship, which no thing can appal"; and it shall he my care to collect such indivi dual instance.. of it which it is my imperioua duty to make known. —The mercy of Providence is greatly apparent, that no one man has been lost or maimed in this dreadful calamity. At present, no sort of clue can be /red by whirl it can be imagined bow this un fortunate calamity commenced, hut a most rigid inquiry is . in. stituted, and every possible mean« taken to elucidate it. It may he NMI to observe, that the whole of the officer.; and crew of the ship boo' p.ssagew allotted them in the different Company's ships, and all will most probably he in England by the month of June. The greatest attention has been used in guarding the wreck, and Messrs. Dent and Co. appointed as agents for the underwriters, whose great exertions and prudent arrangements for the saving bf the guns, Lee., merit my perfect approbation ; and to-morrow the wl ► al e remains will be offered for public sale, 9a that it may rea 'tunably be expeeteil that every possible justice will be done to the towers of this unfortunate ship: I am fearful that the remedies suggested in your letter will not produce the desired effect ; the only way, in my jiulgment, to obtain the requisite quantity of light is, by making windows next New Palace-yard; and to this proposition I think it is not pos sible to offer any rational objection. I am, my dear Sir, your's very faithfully, • (Signed) JOHN SOANI. To John Gurney, Esq.

On the arrival of the market coaches from Manchester, the .windows were instantly demolished, and the passengers (manufacturers of Manchester) severely pelted with stones. They then broke some panes of glass in the house of Mr. KayF the con able, and com mitted a similar outrage on a pnblic-houhe in Daraito-s't'reet 'when it was deemed necessary to rind the Riot Act, and call out the remainder of the Military ; after which the tumult quickly subsided, and thaw who had engaged in thew peaceably retired. • 1 have the honour to he, &c.

The power with which I have been invested hi the Constitution, and the confidence of which you have given We the proofs in the Most difficult circumst anc e; have laid me under an honourable obligation, at 'till to inf irm you what I have undertaken us- insure your happitiae, and to consecrate the tights which you have so gloriously gained by conquest. • "My Proclamation of the 11th July, 1825, informed you of the negotiation concluded in this Capital with the Euvoya of his Christian Majesty. In accepting the act which recognizes the independence of Hayti, we did not conceal front ourselves the vagueness of its dispositions. We sa* at once the diversity of interpretation that might be given to it; but we should have thought it injurious to the French Government to +suppose it ac tuated by any other thoughts or intentions than such as, in a de claration of that nature, can alone honour and immortalise the Sovereign who proclaimed it. Interists, however, and rights so dear as those of our country, could not be abandoned to arbitrary interpretation. My duty roqiiired of me to ask precise explanations. I have asked them. 'The Colnntiaaioners chosen fur that purpose, wham I invested with full powers, and who were moreover charged to regulate in France the basis of our commer cial relations, have returned. They have done every thing in their power- worthily to fulfil their mission, but they hare not obtained that which they were especially charged to require.... The essential clauses of the Convention they have handed to me, not being conformable precisely with the interests of Hayti, pru dence require; that nothing shall be concluded in the business, in the well-founded hope that ulterior explauation'may produce the desired result: lam far from prejudging any thing, against the loyalty of the views of the French Ministry time, doubtless, will cleanup, to the satisfaction of both parties, the important points as to which it is our duty to exercise the most scrupulous vigilance. -.Nevertheless, I shall always tiel bound by my engagement, be cause good faith should be the first rule of conduct for those who govern States. Still, in the existing condition of things, I owe it to myself, to my country, and to the World, to declare the, sense iu which the Government of Hayti accepted the ordonuance of the 17th April. Free and independent for 213 years, Hayti only saw in that ordonnance the application with respect to her of a formality, to legitimatise, in the eyes of. other nations, the government of a people who had-constituted themselves sovereign. It'is this for mality from which results the renunciation by the King of France for himself and his successors„ of all sovereignty over the territory of the Republic, which we have obtained for an indemnity, of which the first instalment has been paid, as Will the others be, punctually. The present legislature, in declaring this indemnity a national debt, have given a new guarantee of the good faith of their Government. Thus there cannot exist, in the opinion of the world, the least doubt that such is the only reasonable in of the ordonnance recognizing the independence of Hayti---an interpretation, moreover, in strict accordance with the preceding manifestoes of this Government. Citizens !—The declaration of yont Chief Magistrate is it; har mony with your unalterable determination, . which has long been known—preserve the attitude to which you owe the rank you hold.. Let loyalty constantly characterize your transactions, and your relations with foreign commerce. Redouble your ardour in fertilizing your fields ; labour will afford you the means of multi plying your exchanges, and teach you to appreciate more the hap piness of a what. liberty. Preserve the profoundest respect for the law, and for the functionario; who are its organs, the confidence and obedience which fire their due. Forget not that union and concord will ever make your greatest strength. Cherish the purest love for the country ; and let your thankful hearts daily offer to the Supreme Being the tribute of hornage demanded by the wonderful protection he has granted you. Soldiers !—ln charging you with the particular care of watching for its defence, the country does not dispense with the obligations I have enumerated. You have already given the mea sure of whit valour can do, guided by patriotism. Show your selves, in all circumstances, faithful to honour and your duty. I will confide my glory to your devotedness, as I trust my happi ness in the glory of my country. Given at the National I'alace of Port-au-Prince, Merch sth, 1826, *34 year of Independence. BOYER. VOLCANIC APPEARANCE IN THE MOON (HY CAPTAIN 111INRY NAVIN, r.R.S.) On Sunday evening, the 4th February, I observed a luminous spot in the dark part of the moon, which I was inclined to as cribe to the eruption of a volcano. The telescope used was an excellent Newtonian of 6} inches aperture, with a power of 74. The moon was exactly two days old, and the evening so cle.or that 1 was able to discern- the ge neral outlines in the dark part of her disc. Her Western azi muth was about 70 degrees, and her altitude about 10 degrees. In this position, at 6 hours and SO min. the volcano (estimating by the eye) smeared distant from the northern limb of the moon about 1-10th of her diameter. Its appearance was that of a small nebula, subtending an angle of about three or four se conds. Its brightness very variable; a luminous point, like a small star of the sixth or seventh magnitude, would suddenly appear in its centre, and as suddenly disappear, and these changes would sometimes take place in the course of a few seconds. . On the evening of the bth, having an engagement which prevent ed me from observing it myself, I arranged the telescope fur two friends, who remarked the same phenomena as the night before, but in an inferior degree, partly, perhaps, in consequence of the evening not being so favourable. On the 6th I again observed it; it had certainly become more faint, and the star-like appearance lets frequent. I could see it very distinctly with a power of 40 : as the moon approached the horizon, it was visible only at ihter. vats, when the star-like appearance took place. On the same evening I had the pleasure of showing it to Mr. Henry Browne, F.R. S. I regret that I had no inicrometer adapted to my telescope, but I have reason to believe the distance of the volcano from , the edge of the moon was about one-tenth of her diameter ; and the angle it formed this evening with the line joining the cusps, was about 60 degrees. I remarked near the edge of the moon, a well known dark spot, from which the volcano was distant, as nearly as I could estimate, three tunes its distance from the edge of the moon. In a map of the moon, published by Dr. Kitchener (which is the beat small snap with Which I ant acquainted), there is a mountain sufficiently near the situation of the vol cano, to authorise the supposition that they may be identical.... On the 7th, I could still see the volcano, and the occasional star-like appearance, but I do not think it was sufficiently perceptible to hare been discovered by a person ignorant of its precise situation. I am inclined, however, to think, that the difficulty of seeing it is rather to be attributed to the increased light of the moon, than to the diminished action of the volcano. The spot in which I observed the volcanic appearance is that named Aristarelurs. This spot was particu larly examined by Ilevelius, who calls it Mons .Parphirites, and who considers it to be volcanic. If his drawings are to be relied upon, it has undergone it considerable change in its appearance sing his time.

I find that this observation was made about nine o'clock in the evening, when the moon - was not quite two Air old; end from the situation of the spot described by Sir Ww.
